Re: Octave Mandolin advice
just get the Eastman MDO-305 and learn your grips. I really liked going to the D'Adderio Mandola string set. I still keep the octave tuning; however.
I'm newly retired and play mostly for the birds and dogs. I thought (think) of getting a custom job, but, the Eastman is a real instrument and great fun for me to learn on.
I spent many years flipping mandolins. I know the joys of trying different makers and small bench-made luthiers. That said, it can become quite a journey - at least it was (is?) for me and mandolins. All that said, I just happy with my Eastman!
f-d
